Don't over-compicate the roll of command. In this episode Chief Pronesti discusses a simple initial size up option that takes into account the building.  This is not the only option out there, just one we discussed in this particular episode.   Size--how do you determine size and define that for your crews? Use--understand the special hazards that each use group holds for firefighting operations and the members Type--this requires you to get out and to see buildings and to understand that what we see is not always the facts. Era--this is a critical piece of the puzzle that is forgotten. Get out and learn about the era your buildings were built in and the characteristics of those buildings.

Nothing can be so chaotic as a firefighter in trouble that calls a Mayday.  The fire service spends a lot of time and resources in training firefighters and task level officers in techniques and methods for calling a Mayday and surviving those situations---as it should be!  However, there has been little developed and created in the way of real, meaningful training for incident commanders to hone their skills in handling a Mayday.   This podcast will discuss, generally, about commanding a Mayday.  It is part 1 of a multi-part series that will focus on the IC and his/her role in handling the Mayday for a successful outcome.     Our special guest for this series is Assistant Chief Joe Pronesti of the Elyria, OH Fire Department.  He speaks from experiences and his in-depth training.    Chief Pronesti will be speaking at FDIC International 2017 on  Size-Up and Command for the Small Department: How to Avoid Being Lost in the Fog of the Fireground on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 08:00-12:00 in Rooms 132-133. Below are some examples of what Chief Pronesti is doing and offering.   A lazy boy training of to talk about VEiS go or no go heavy fire on div 2.
